HIS 239 - Modern American Evangelicalism

4 credits

This course recounts the history of American Evangelical thought and culture in the 19th and 20th centuries, giving particular attention to the rise of Fundamentalism and to its transformation into modern Evangelicalism. One of the course’s goals is to place the theological and cultural ethos of institutions such as Gordon College into historical context. Major assignments include panel discussions of the readings and an Integrative Book Review (the final paper), on which students give a public presentation. (Alternate years)
